MINES AND ALIENS.

This alien act provides one of the
many reasons why Montana should
demand persistently the rank Of state
hood. That act which was intended
to prevent the purchase by foreigners
of immense tracks in the territories
has been construed to include mining
properties, and in that way it has re-
tarded the investment Of foreign cap
ital in Montana and elsewhere. IL
Montana wer a state, the law would
no longer operate here, since it is by
virtue of its power yer the territories
that congress prevents a Montana
miner from selling his property on
the same terms as a New Yorker or
Pennsylvania.
Attorney General Garland has CIV
en- President Cleveland an opinion
that mines are not aft ected by the
law, but he nullifes the value Of this
statement by the conclusion which he
comes to regarding stock companies
which is as follows:
As . stock Incorporation is person
atty, M alien can lawfully have, hold

a Deadlock.

New YORK, July 2s.-J. A. Chapeau,
secretary of state for Canada, said to a
correspondent concerning Canadian af-
fairs: There is considerable talk about
a commercial union with the United
States. and about reciprocity, but / think
there is a great deal more gas about it on
both sides of the line than there is solid
progress toward such a union. States
men there are not inclinedt to give Canada a
commercial union because they would
are not inclined to have annexation, and
there the matter will rest"
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1887-07-30

and own shares OF stock issued by an
American corporation which is now
the owner of mineral lands in the ter
ritory, but if the holding by aliens
exceed 20 per cent such corporation
can neither acquire, hold, own, nor
hereafter acquire real estate while 20
per cent of the stock is held and own
ed by aliens"
This opinion, it may be seen estab-
fishes a 20 per cent limit, which prac-
tically prevents the investment Of
foreign capital, as such investments
are generally made with the intention
of obtaining full control.
Grave obstacles exist under the act
to loans on mines, for according to
Mr.. Garland, the "alien0 would not
be able to foreclose. He says: Gun
der the act the advancement of money
hereafter by aliens for the purpose of
developing mining property is lawful,
but no interest in real estate can be
acquired by such advancement; nor
would an alien have the right to ac-
quire real estate by such advance
ment; nor would an alien have the
right to purchase the real estate nor
any interest therein on a loan made
since the passage Of the act, even if
sold on his own security or lien"
It appears, however, that the law
may be evaded very readily for the
encouragement says: "Aliens may
lawfully contract with American own
ers to work mines by personal con-
tracts for hire or by bona ,fde leases
for a reasonable time" Thus by
leases of from 20 to 100 years the
'alien'' may acquire as firm grip on
mines as if had bought them outright.
AS the law may be so readily evaded
congress would do well to pass an
amendatory act, excluding mines
from its provisions. The law would
